Less about white supremacy than it is about getting in touch with the gods who the Nordics worshipped before Jesus. One could make the same claim concerning white supremacy and christianity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Jesus_Christ%E2%80%93Christian

No it is not. It is about self-determination and freedom and the inherent nobility of humanity. Fascism and Nazism have no place there. The reason for this is simple, and here's the explanation why: Heathens revere their ancestors, and historically ancestor worship was at least as important as honouring the gods. All humans seem to descend from one or two families back in Africa. That means that every human being shares an ancestor with every other if you go back far enough. So if you're a racist, you're saying that "your ancestors aren't as good as mine". But if you say that, you deride your own ancestors in the same breath, since you share ancestors with whatever ethnic group you hate. And dishonouring one's ancestors is one of the lowest, most despicable things a Heathen can do. End of story.
